If you or a loved one suffered diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) after using an affected Omnipod insulin pump, you may have legal options.
Insulet Corporation has issued multiple recalls involving certain Omnipod insulin pump Pods after discovering manufacturing defects that may prevent insulin from being delivered properly. According to the FDA, these recalls were classified as Class I recalls, the agency's most serious type of recall because of the risk of severe injury or death.
At Cory Watson Attorneys, we are investigating claims on behalf of individuals who experienced DKA after using recalled Omnipod devices. If a defective insulin pump interrupted insulin delivery and caused you to require emergency medical treatment or hospitalization, you may be entitled to compensation.
What Is the Omnipod Lawsuit About?
Omnipod is a tubeless insulin delivery system designed for people with diabetes. The system continuously delivers rapid-acting insulin through a disposable Pod worn on the body.
In 2026, Insulet announced two separate recalls involving millions of Omnipod Pods after identifying manufacturing issues that could damage the insulin delivery system. According to the FDA, these defects may cause insulin to leak instead of reaching the patient, resulting in little or no insulin being delivered—even when the device appears to be functioning normally.
Without enough insulin, blood sugar levels can rise rapidly, potentially leading to diabetic ketoacidosis, a life-threatening medical emergency.
Which Omnipod Products Were Recalled?
The recalls include certain lots of:
- Omnipod 5 Pods
- Omnipod DASH Pods
- Original Omnipod (Eros) Pods
Together, the recalls affected more than 8 million Pods distributed in the United States and internationally.
If you are unsure whether your device was included, our team can help determine whether your product may have been affected.
What Is Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)?
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious medical condition that occurs when the body does not receive enough insulin.
Without insulin, the body begins breaking down fat for energy, causing dangerous acids called ketones to build up in the bloodstream. DKA can develop quickly and often requires emergency treatment.
Common symptoms include:
- Excessive thirst
- Frequent urination
- Nausea or vomiting
- Severe fatigue
- Shortness of breath
- Fruity-smelling breath
- Confusion
- High blood sugar levels
- High ketone levels
If left untreated, DKA can lead to:
- Hospitalization
- Intensive care admission
- Kidney injury
- Brain swelling
- Coma
Who May Qualify for an Omnipod Lawsuit?
You may be eligible to pursue an Omnipod lawsuit if:
- You used an Omnipod 5, Omnipod DASH, or original Omnipod Pod.
- You experienced diabetic ketoacidosis while using the device or shortly afterward.
- You required treatment in an emergency room or were hospitalized.
- Your device was part of a recalled lot or can potentially be linked to one through medical or pharmacy records.
Even if you no longer have the device or packaging, you may still qualify. Our attorneys can help investigate whether your Pod was affected.
How Can a Defective Omnipod Cause DKA?
The recalled Pods may contain manufacturing defects that allow insulin to leak instead of entering the body.
Because insulin may not be delivered properly, users may unknowingly receive little or no insulin while believing their pump is working correctly. This interruption in insulin delivery can quickly lead to dangerously high blood sugar and diabetic ketoacidosis.
